first discovered, and in his zeal TO pro-
tect bis master, possibly, was the cause
OF his losing his life.
A little girl peeped in on us yester-
day and said--Mr Editor, / want 10
ask you conundrum--"Why is Bill
High like jewcler2" The surprise
was so sudden we couldn't answer, and
she said, "because one watches cells
and the other sells watches, > and then
ran away laughing and was lost to
sight before we could invite her TO an
ice cream saloon.
The conspicuous absence of all fur-
bulence, noisy conduct and drunken
ness on the Fourth struck the NEws
reporter as something wonderful for
holiday given up so entirely to free
dom and festivities, and he conceived
the idea OF interviewing the saloon
men as to business ON that day. Mr.
Creswell, OF the Gem saloon, was the
first man met on the street In reply
TO the question-How was business
on the Fourth, how much whisky did
you sell2 he said-H0 nothing TO brag
Of, we didn't sell more than half
gallon during the day, no, not as much
as half gallon" Mr.. Shannon, OF
the Billiard Hall, was the next cor
nercd and probed with the question
Did you sell any whisky on the Fourth2
"A little, very little, not as much as
half gallon, we filed a gallon demijohn
on the morning Of the Fourth and it
lasted until noon the next day, and
the best part was drunk the next day. I"
Mr.. Pratner, Of the Commercial Hotel,
was the next approached and pumped
with the same query-Did you sell
any ~h;sskY On the Ronrth2 aNot
enough 70 speak OF, he said, not as
much as half gallon, all told, our Gus
toners all indulged in light wines and
lemonades. So il can be said TO the
everlasting credit OF Blackfoot that
at its largest gathering ever assembled
In the town there was no drunkenness,
no disturbance, no rowdyism, and less
whisky sold than on the ordinary
days as they come and go.

The people of Pocatello all took a
holiday ON the Glorious Fourth; the
railroad offices and shops were closed
In honor Of the national birthday and
every ono worked hard enjoying the
day; some went to our neighboring
cities, some went fishing and Others
remained at home and rested. AT sun.
rise the national salute was fired, and
the Pocatello brass band played the
national airs on the common. Many
OF the houses were tastefully decora.
ted with flags and In the evening fire
works could be seen at almost every
house. At . p. m. goodly number
OF the young people gathered in the
large dining hall OF the Keeny House
where they spent three delightful
hours In dancing. AT midnight the
dance was concluded by a most bril-
liant display OF fireworks from the
hotel
Horseback riding Is quite the fash.
ion here; every evening dozen or
more ladies and gentlemen may be
seen riding, and, taking the horses and
riders together, they are as handsome
turnout as may be seen anywhere
and they certainly are much better
horsemen and horsewomcn than their
cousins back In the States, many Of
whom know nothing of this healthful
exercise which is so necessary TO those
who lead a sedentary life. The favor
ite ride for the last few days has beer

Indians are having dance with pray
ers for good crops.
The Ogden brass band condescend
ed to favor us with two or three tunes
as they passed through Pocatello last
Saturday on their way TO Boise; buI
the general opinion OF the people whc
heard them seems TO be that they
can't play any better than our owr
band, Of which the people of PocatellC
may well be proud.
